State is now 8% but it could be more depending on where you buy it. Different cities/counties add to the basic tax. Some places are nearly 10%. Our registration fees have now doubled too, so if you get a new car think of that. My Pruis will now run me 250.00 for a 5 year old car this is up from the 174.00 I paid this year.
Probably not. You paid sales tax in Oregon when the car was purchased. When moving to California you didn't have to pay sales tax on all your other possessions, did you? You'll probably have to pay a tax on the car's value when registering it in CA. Probably not. You paid sales tax in Oregon when the car was purchased.

The sales tax is definitely added WHERE you buy your car.
Yes, you would pay California tax if you bring the car into the state within a year of having purchased it anywhere else.
It ca be different for every car
I purchased a car in Kansas and transported it to my home state of California. Kansas waived their sales tax and California charged me sales tax when the car was titled and licensed. I would expect a similar scenario between North Carolina and Virginia.
You pay sales tax in the county in which you live. For example, if you live in Cobb County, GA you will pay 6% sales tax on the purchase price.
You pay the sales tax when you go into the DMV to register the vehicle. In this case you would be paying the Arizona sales tax. I purchased a car from Colorado and registered it in Califonia and payed California sales tax.
Depending where the car is purchased and registered. Cities, counties have different tax bases. If you purchase a car in Tracy (8.750%) or Tahoe City (8.250%) and registered the car in Pleasanton (9.750%) or Oakland (9.750%) DMV would charge the additional monies.
is it required that I pay Minnesota sales tax on a car purchased from my mother
My wife went through this today. We purchased the car in New Mexico and paid sales tax there. We are not in California and she went to register her car and was charged almost $1500.00. They claimed that this was the difference between the sales tax paid in New Mexico and what she would have paid in California. Also, they would not accept payments and would not accept credit card. It had to be paid cash, up front. So your answer is YES. At the same time, why is California 10% higher than New Mexico?
yes you do
